DePaul vs. UConn Prediction and Pick

The Blue Demons match up pretty nicely against the tough interior defense of the Huskies. While UConn has a top 10 2-point defense in the country, they don't generate a turnover, 9th in the Big East in turnover rate.

DePau can match Connecticut's physicality inside, third in the Big East in offensive rebounding rate and draw a ton of fouls, third in free throw rate. UConn has struggled avoiding foul trouble, 10th in opponent free throw rate which can be exactly what DePaul needs to stay within this big number.

Also, motivation is a factor here. UConn has locked up a bye in the Big East Tournament next week and can't improve their standing while DePaul is playing spirited ball down the stretch, winning three straight, including at home against Marquette. Further, the team lost by 7, 57-50, at home against UConn earlier in the season, I think we see another competitive battle again.
